Yes Garry,

I like the Dawns and Dusks in FLIGHT...I was reminded by the second shot of first light at sea, which I have encountered many times in various yachts at the end of a night passage, and the odd dawn departure to make a long passage :)

That really does look stunning Peter. The second one is superb, and the shot you have over at Muttleys, sitting on the apron next to the hanger with the clouds over the moutain in the background is smashing. Many thanks for sharing :thumbsup:

Thank you Ben :)

I haven't really done a proper night flight in the Cub yet and I may well do that next from King Salmon to Kodiak...Not very good for screenshots but I would like to see what it is like. Kodiak also has a VOR and an ILS so will see how they go. One slight difficulty with the Cub is that the little compass high on the windscreen (not shown on any of the screenshots) is too far out of scan to use and that is why I have to have the HUD up for heading information.
